As always – two-three weeks after release date – I’m ready for installing new version of my favourite virtualizator – VirtualBox (from many months by Oracle). Official release date is 25th Feb, now on 15th March I can meet this version. Many of bugs has been fixed by developers team, and here is the change log (base on original from web site) – most important changes for my are in pink:

VMM: more work on improving the emulation of certain MSR registers (e.g. bugs #12224, #12544)

VBoxManage: when exporting an appliance, support the suppression of MAC addresses, which means they will be always recreated on import, avoiding duplicate MAC addresses for VMs which are imported several times

It’s definitely more than in last version (post about it are here). Please remember to download and install full setup – in phase one: Virtual Box (for host) and in phase two: Extension Pack (for host/guests). Extention Pack support e.g USB 2.0 Host Controller, Host Webcam, VirtualBox RDP, PXE ROM with E1000. And here are the links:

VirtualBox platform packages. The binaries are released under the terms of the GPL version 2.
